Chinese culture is profound and profound, and the sayings have radiated dazzling light over thousands of years. It mainly comes from people's summary of life, so it also makes the common language very diverse. For example, you can often see the common sayings in home life, weddings and funerals, and house construction. There is a saying in many old sayings: "The front is narrow and the back is wide, and the wealth is boundless." The literal meaning of is also very easy to understand, because it is to say: when building a house, it is narrow in front and wide in the back, which is an ideal building.
From ancient times to the present, people have attached great importance to housing construction. and the old saying often says "one generation builds a house and two generations live in" , so many different sayings about building a house have been derived, such as "Don't build a house and the road behind the water, it is hard to buy a house to the south", "Don't leave a good match for a house, the rich man will cut off his wealth", "Don't guard the pond in front of the door, and don't open the window behind the house" , etc. Because houses have always been an important habitat for people. Therefore, there are also special considerations in housing construction.
narrow front and wide back
In fact, the building pattern of "narrow front and wide back" was not the first choice of the ancients, because the most popular pattern for building houses in the past was "round sky and place", such as the previous courtyard form. However, due to limited resources, many houses can only be rectangular, so the sentence "narrow front and wide back, and endless wealth" was derived later. The reason why the ancients thought that " It is better to have narrow front and wide back, and there are several main reasons;
first considers the appearance, This is because the shape of 'width front and narrow back' is particularly similar to that of coffins . We all know that families are the habitat for people to live on. From the appearance, rectangular houses are indeed not suitable for wide front and narrow back. In addition, wide front and narrow back will make the house layout particularly awkward. This can easily affect the beauty of the house. Of course, the front does not need to be particularly narrower, because most of them are slightly narrower than the back.
In addition, it is considered from the traditional concept. In ancient times, people paid more attention to the feng shui of the house, and the architectural pattern of narrow front and wide back just conforms to their concept. This is because "narrow front and wide back" is an inverted "eight" building in the eyes of the ancients. We all know that in the past, the construction of houses was , "hiding wind and absorbing energy" , so this inverted "eight" building seemed popular. , because in the ancients' concept, narrow front and wide back, was conducive to "hiding wind and absorbing wealth" , and in addition, they also believed that this pattern of buildings was conducive to preserving the luck of the family.
Finally, it is considered from a security perspective. In the eyes of ancient people, the architectural pattern of narrow front and wide back is conducive to blocking floods. I all know that in ancient times, the construction technology was limited, and most of the houses were wooden houses or earthen houses. What these houses fear the most was floods. Then, the architectural pattern of 'narrow front and wide back' seemed very practical, so gradually the sentence "narrow front and wide back, and the wealth is boundless."
Full and boundless
The sentence "rich and boundless" is quite desirable in terms of the previous environment, because this architectural pattern is more suitable for the previous environment. If the house has strong ability to resist natural disasters, it will definitely be conducive to the development of the family. as the saying goes, 'Some people have wealth'. However, this sentence is a bit exaggerated when viewed now, because the current house construction technology has improved greatly compared to before. Another point in is that family wealth is not determined by the layout of the house.
summary: This sentence "the front is narrow and the back is wide, and the wealth is boundless". I personally think that there are not many advantages to put it in today's environment, because the current living environment has been greatly improved compared to before, and there is no longer the need to use the narrow front and wide back to resist natural disasters. Another point of is that happy life is , which is achieved through hard work. Of course, the passage of is also different from the perspective of . Because some places care more about the layout of the house, what do you think of this old saying? (Pictures are from the Internet to delete if infringement)
